The HT bears responsibility for the quality of the tutoring system and organizing the means to control the quality of tutoring. The HT is a member of the Board of Studies and works closely with many parties at UCR, particularly the Senior Tutor for student affairs (ST), in carrying out policies and processes related to the tutoring system. Whereas the focus of the Senior Tutor is more on the students, the focus of the Head Tutor is more on developing and monitoring the personnel side of tutoring.

Chad Weidner believes in UCR, the Liberal Arts, and the Tutoring system. He’s from the USA, got his PhD in literature, and has worked in Middelburg since 2006. An Honorary Fellow of the Belgian-American Educational Foundation, Chad holds additional degrees in Creative Writing, English, and educational science. He published the anthology Fractured Ecologies (EyeCorner 2020), The Green Ghost: William Burroughs and the Ecological Mind (Southern Illinois UP 2016), and other papers. When not making young people better, Chad enjoys fitness, and mountain camping with his family.
